Comment on Explorer.exe 100% CPU usage after login (webcpl.dll) by Harry

i had this problem when my wife tried to log on the internet. i think the solution was to reset her defaults. but it has been so long ago can anybody tell me if this was the fix? I only ask because i upgraded from NIS 2007 to 2008 (running XP) and now MY CPU usage runs at 100% and locks the computer. I am on her account right now. tried taliking to Norton folks, but they said it was the computer’s fault - didn’t have any issues until i went to NIS 2008.

any thoughts???

I am having an identical problem as described at the top of this page. Problem exists on multiple laptops (but not desktops) at my company.

Sometimes after restarting the problem will not come back. Every time a user shuts down and turns laptop back on the problem exists — explorer.exe is at 0-3% until you try to open my computer or windows explorer. then it just hangs at 99%

I ran Process Explorer and found that BrowseUI.dll!ordinal138 is the culprit thread.

Here is the stack for that thread:

^ if you’re using apache2 (which you should with php5) and it’s the cygwin package of apache2, the dso modules are in /usr/lib/apache2

you can check the directory prefix that apache2 is using by greping the server root:
`grep -i serverroot /etc/apache2/httpd.conf`

Scott, if you can’t find the offending executable that’s holding onto the file, there are a couple of things you can try. The easiest way is probably just to boot up into safe mode and delete the file. In most cases, the file will not load in safe mode. The next easiest is to just try renaming the file. Oftentimes, you can rename an in-use file even though you can’t delete it. If the file isn’t recreated, then reboot and it will fail to load on the next startup since it is a different filename. Then you can delete it.

Also, I found this semi-useful link on Google about the DLL: translated link

Thanks for the great recommendation. Found this site after searching now that my explorer.exe is hanging out at 99% cpu usage.

Ran the Process Explorer app. and when looking at properties, it ended up leading me to a file called checkweb.dll that is hidden deep within my c:\windows\system32\dllcache directory.

Problem is I cant delete it!

it keeps saying the file is in use or write protected. I killed it from Process Explorer and any little file assoc. with checkweb.dll (there were about 5 in the Properties tab of explorer.exe that had checkweb.dll as part of its name).

Any suggestions of how to delete this from my comp so I dont have to kill it on every boot?

Id love to just trash the damn thing.

Thanks

I failed at Step 10: Check the contents of httpd.conf:

Syntax error on line 239 of /etc/apache/httpd.conf:
Can’t locate API module structure `php5_module’ in file /usr/lib/apache/libphp5.dll: No such file or directory

This is what I have in httpd.conf
LoadModule php5_module lib/apache/libphp5.dll

The file is in fact located in C:\cygwin\lib\apache

Can anyone help.
